PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MC-WS05 overview
Quick answer
MC-WS05 is a compact, single-use twist meter seal. The clear polycarbonate body measures 18.72 × 22.88 mm and 22.5 mm deep, with a 12.2 mm rotor and a 7.8 mm marking tab. The wire is 0.7 mm galvanized or stainless steel, 20 cm standard, supplied loose or attached. Pass the wire through the two holes, turn the handle to the right until tight, then break it off. Remove with cable cutters. MOQ is 5,000 pieces, packed 2,000 per carton.
How it locks
The rotor winds the wire inside the body; once the handle is broken off it cannot be unwound.
Not suitable when
- the order is below 5,000 pieces – MC-WS01 starts at 1,000;
- you need a large marking flag – see MC-WS07;
- the meter holes are smaller than the 0.7 mm wire.
Compared with similar models
- MC-WS01 – twist meter seal with a clear PC body, MOQ 1,000.
- MC-WS03 – push-button meter seal, no rotor.
